When you eat pizza when its only just been taken out the oven it burns the roof of your mouth, for obvious reasons. How come this only happens with pizza. WHY WHY WHY is it always pizza? whats so different about pizza that it next to never happens with anything else??? im so confused HELP[?][?][?]

Maybe the very top portion of a pizza the part just below the skin is super heated, maybe the skin traps and collects the rising heat from the rest of the pizza. and as you bite in you release this heat onto the roof of your mouth. Maybe

I'm going to theorize that you really really love pizza and that you devour it the best way by grabbing it with your hand instead of a knife and fork. If so, then I speculate that there is a tendency when eating pizza this way to shove it far into the mouth, therefore a nice chunk is resting on your tongue when you bite it, and it then rises up to hit the roof of your mouth and then burns it giving you flappy loose skinny joy !!......that's my theory.....whajafink ?

Do you also scoff your pizza ?...do you relish your pizza ?..Perhaps you also enjoy large bites !!..this fills the mouth and therefore can also hit the roof of mouth !!.......and is it steaming ?..is it oozing delicious pepperoni ?...well, they're on top ?..they are hot !!

I also find really hot drinks do it...especially hot chocolate which must be slurped constantly !!

quite often this happens because of the oil that come to the top during cooking especially in thing like pizzas where theres lots of oil (from the cheese ) and the surface does not allow it to drain away
